Salon Talk - The Dutch education system (middelbaarschool) for parents

Description

Do you have a kid in gr 6, 7 or 8 (or younger) in a Dutch basisschool - then this is the salon talk for you! Many of us are utterly confused by the middelbare school system in The Netherlands. A lot of us come from a much simpler system and it is difficult getting our heads around what we need to do when our kid is nearing gr 7 or 8 here. Mel as just been through this whole process and has a kid starting the next chapter of his life in 2 weeks time - eek!
Harmony and Mel will take you through the most important information; the different levels, different types of school, voorlopig advies, definitief advies, eindcito exam, open days, applying to your chosen school, etc and time frames to all of this.
